NOTE: This communication is not intended as and should not be interpreted as legal advice. Rather, it is intended solely as a general discussion of legal principles. You should not rely on or take action based on this communication without first presenting ALL relevant details to a competent attorney in your jurisdiction and then receiving the attorney's individualized advice for you. By reading the "Response" to your question or comment, you agree that the opinion expressed is not intended to, nor does it, create any attorney-client relationship, nor does it constitute legal advice to any person reviewing such information, nor will it be considered an attorney-client privileged communication. If you do not agree, then stop right here, and do not read any further.

What does the agreement between you and the shipper say? Generally, they have a responsibility to take care of the goods entrusted into their care. If goods get lost are damaged, they should be responsible to you for the value. Oftentimes, the liability is limited by the terms of the shipping documents. Read them carefully. If they refuse to reimiburse you for the lost crate and its contents, then seek one of the remedies available which includes filing suit in the appropriate court.
